The Introduction:
The Red Ribbon Army is headed up by Commander Red. Not being the tallest guy in the world, Red is bent on finding the dragonballs for the sole purpose of wishing to be taller. Their quest for the dragonballs undoubtedly brings to cross paths with Goku, who brings about their destruction.
Interesting Facts:
Black is, interestingly enough, one of the few African-Americans to make even the slightest appearance in Dragonball (No, Mr. Popo is not an African-American). Rather Ironically, Black shoots Red in the head, and takes his position as top dog atop the Red Ribbon army. Unfortunately, Goku destroys the entire army shortly thereafter.
Some of you will notice that Tao Pai Pai is not listed on the above chart. This is because he was not a member of the Red Ribbon army, but only a hired mercenary used to weed out a few bad apples. To his credit however, his name does match the color motif you have probably noticed by now. Tao Pai Pai actually means "Peach White White".
Finally, Android #8 was NOT created by Dr. Frappe. This is one of the many plot holes in the anime. The manga clearly states that Android #8 was the creation of Dr. Gero.
